Hey all,
I have a handle on a 1997 Jeep TJ with a 2.5L motor 5 speed etc. The body and everything else is great but the motor is blown and will likely need replacement. Whats a fair price for this jeep? Also what 2.5L motors are swappable? I can likely do the engine swap myself so that will save me some money. Thanks for the info guys, also if anyone is selling a 2.5L that would be usable, pm me!
Thanks!
Duncan

97 with no motor?
3000 tops
It will cost you 1000 for a good re manufactured 2.5 ...at least!

I suggested the 4.0l swap on 4wheeler....

What all is required in swapping in a 4.OL? New motor mounts, computers/electronics, driveshafts, transmission and transfer case? Id like to do this thing as cheaply as possible so I may just hold off on the 4.0L and stick with a 2.5L for now.
-
If i am not mistaken aren't the transfer case the same in the 2.5L and the 4.0L. Because i am running an np231 and in the the step dads tj is also an np231 and he is running the 4.0L . Some say its cheaper to just buy a jeep with a 4.0L then to do the interchange between the 2.5L and the 4.0L.

I would offer $500 tops

I'd be careful on this one and low ball it as much as you can. Because you just won't know the truth about the t-case tranny and diff's untill you get it mobile.
A good clean trail virgin 97 4 banger would run about 5000 these days. Swapping the motor will cost you more than you think, It always does :)
